The Vineyard

The grapes come from goblet-trained vineyards under sustainable viticulture criteria, spread over approximately 120 hectares of vineyards aged between 15 and 30 years.

The 2022 vintage was marked by a humid and cold winter that slightly delayed budding, followed by a warm and dry summer that favored excellent fruit ripening.

The harvest began on September 6, allowing the grapes to be collected in excellent health and ripeness.

Winemaking

Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation were carried out spontaneously in French oak vats.

Subsequently, the wine remained for 12 months in semi-new French oak barrels, refining its structure without losing the prominence of the fruit.

Before bottling, a traditional clarification with albumin was performed.

Tasting Notes

Cherry red color with high intensity, a lively reddish rim, and greater-than-usual intensity.

On the nose, it stands out for its marked fruity expression, with aromas of ripe cherry, fresh red berries, and slight hints of black fruit. The wood is perfectly integrated and almost imperceptible, giving way to notes of aromatic herbs, undergrowth, and damp earth.

On the palate, it shows excellent volume and a very attractive freshness. Notes of ripe cherry and juicy red fruit predominate, accompanied by firm but well-integrated tannins.

The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of ripe fruit and freshness simultaneously.

Pairing

Perfect for tapas, pintxos, select cured meats, rice dishes, oily fish, and white meats.

Its fresh profile even allows it to be served slightly cooler than usual for a red wine.

Recommended serving temperature: between 14 and 16 ºC.

Sela 2022 Magnum shows the most approachable and expressive side of Rioja. A wine where fruit, freshness, and elegance combine naturally, reflecting the philosophy of precision and balance that has made Bodegas Roda an essential reference in the Spanish wine scene.
